UW Libraries - Helen Johns Library Endowment

The purpose of the Endowment is for funding for staff development, including but not limited to, training, conferences, workshops and associated costs.

This gift was received from the estate of Helen Johns, who was the Head of the University Libraries Circulation Division for 28 years. She loved her work and the Libraries and this endowment was created from her bequest.
